Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaThe breakfast was not the best. It was small but it didn’t bother us so much because we were in New York. We wanted to try the bagels, banana pudding, etc.
We liked that the hotel rooms were clean, we were allowed to leave our luggages early before checkin. The staff were so nice, helpful and approachable. The location was nice.. close to Central Park.

United States of AmericaOf course New York City prices are going to be high, but I found this one to be a good value. I will likely return here anytime I come to the city, especially for concerts at Carnegie.
Right across the street from Carnegie Hall. Finally a decent value hotel in NYC that doesn’t feel worn and dated, is clean, comfortable, and convenient. My room looked right onto Carnegie. My room wasn’t oversized but was a better vibe than most any other hotel in the city at a comparable pricing point.

United States of AmericaThere was very little to dislike. A short list of minor complaints: 1. The room WAS very small. We travel light and spend little time in the room, so that was not a major issue. 2. We had a view of a brick wall. That may have contributed to the 16th floor room's quiet, however, as the window did not face the street. 3. There was no microwave. 4. One of two large elevators, shared by both guests and staff, was out of service when we arrived. It was working by our final night, so having just one working elevator was probably unusual. 5. The nightly room rate was steep. However, EVERYTHING in Manhattan is pricey, so the Carnegie provided good value and met our needs quite well.
Location, location, location! This was a handy spot for us: highly walkable to Central Park, Times Square, the Broadway theaters, and Carnegie Hall (just across the street). The staff was invariably welcoming, helpful and professional. We enjoyed the relaxing wine/cheese/fruit service each day at 5-6. The breakfast buffet saved us money as well as valuable time on our brief visit to NYC. The breakfast/wine room was tiny but designed to make the most of limited space. The hotel lobby was also quite small but classy, as was our room. Despite the Carnegie's location near noisy Times Square, our tiny 16th floor room was quiet. Also contributing to a good night's rest were blackout curtains, a comfortable bed and an efficient heating/cooling system on a thermostat. The room had excellent overhead lighting, desk lighting, and reading lights on the side tables. The small refrigerator was stocked the first day with two bottles of cold water. Everything was functional and looked clean and well-maintained. The rainfall shower was great. The front desk was staffed 24/7, providing quick service and a feeling of safety. Elijah was a fixture there, always personable and helpful. We especially appreciated the arrangements he made for our transport to LaGuardia Airport.

United KingdomBreakfast was poor, didn't use it. Preferred to eat out but you get what you pay for. No tea making facilities in room but free in lobby area. Just a pain to go down as most people still on different time zones so awake early.
The wine hour, location was great. Clean all we needed for our stay.

United KingdomThere was a terrible noise from the vent for the first 3 nights which affected my sleep particularly on the 3rd night. Was informed that they could not do anything about it because it was caused by steam in the vent (?). Luckily there were rooms available the next day and the staff promptly changed my room.
Good central location, decent breakfast, lovely happy hour. Small but comfy room perfect for one or a couple.

United KingdomAs mentioned many times in other reviews breakfast area inadequate for hotel size! We only ate downstairs twice, toaster very very slow.
Great location a few minutes from Central park and Subway. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful with any questions! The room was really well appointed, we had huge amounts of storage space. You will hear some traffic noise, sirens ...it is New York so take ear plugs if your a light sleeper. Only a few rooms on each floor, only 3 on ours and absolutely no noise from other rooms. The bed was really comfortable. Although rooms do not have tea/coffee making facilities you are able to take drinks from the downstairs breakfast area up to your rooms, I just went down in hotel dressing gown to get a cuppa first thing in the morning! Again if space was tight downstairs of an evening take the wine and fabulous snacks to your room, lovely whilst getting ready to go out for dinner. Great Greek restaurant next door to hotel and lovely Italian Pazza Notte a few mins walk away along with bakery and other cafes.

SwedenThe room we were given was a bit on the small side, but this is to be expected in NYC. There was also a smell coming from outside when we opened the window, so we kept it closed.
Clean room and bathroom in good condition, good breakfast, fast WiFi, attentive staff, complementary coffee/tea/snacks in the breakfast room for the duration of our stay. Overall this is a great accommodation if you are visiting New York for tourism or have business in the area.
